i guess i have someone that agrees with me about the government and the heating crisis. the government runs the show. the funny thing is no really is preparing for what could happen in this state this winter. it is a awful way to die with no heat. very unhumane. to contingency plans for people. they should be planning now. just like you plan for a category 5 hurricane when you know you are going to be a direct hit but the feds did poorly with katrina didnt they with all the lives lost. they knew it was coming and did nothing to prepare. baldacchi is doing the same thing. to let the elderly the disabled well the would be cruelty of the worst kind. people who have lots of money can keep warm or go to florida but what about those who cant escape the cold. baldacchi wants neighbors looking out for neighbors but there are alot that dont look out for the guy next door we all should be worrying about this winter.report abuse

"what about the government who are going to deny alot of elderly low income and disabled this winter for funding for lheap money for oil. our own government is committing abuse. to die without heat is inhumane."

So we are pets of the government? Interesting way of looking at it i guess. At least let the dog or cat outside so it can run away. Might stand a better chance of surviving that way.report abuse

a animal control officer,animal welfare agent should never lie or give false hope to a person they are trying to get to reduce the number of animals they have at the same time they should have some compassion and kindness. they should help educate by getting the person to get spay and neuter vouchers and veterinarians should also take a interest in trying to help this person. another thing is getting the home cleaned up after the reduction is made . if they want cooperation i say this to norma worley. please dont lie to someone. if you want someone to cooperate and get their trust. dont lie.report abuse

got one for you blueeyes. what about the government who are going to deny alot of elderly low income and disabled this winter for funding for lheap money for oil. our own government is committing abuse. to die without heat is inhumane. think about that one. by the way my cats were my family. there are alot of things you dont know. it is unfair to judge. there are some people who read my comments i know who i am know i did more then 100% for my cats. i gave my heart and soul to those cats. i even sacrificed for those cats.dont say that to me babe. i know those little eyes that looked up to me. i bought them the best food science diet iams. they never were without food. i went beyond the call of duty for those cats. so dont pull that line with me.you dont know who you are talking to. i had a ACO that tells me he is coming to find homes for my kitties and later on i find out it was all a lie. i found out he was running a substandardard shelter. how does that make one feel huh.report abuse
